What do you intend to do with it? My laptop's i5 is 2.27GHz from about three years ago and played all the games I ran on it competently at mid to high settings (with a separate GPU for the graphics, obviously).
However, one problem I've seen repeatedly mentioned with 'Ultrabooks' is that the CPU gets so hot it clocks down.
